I'm not saying he is some super based martyr. Only that there is significant enough proof to believe he was fired based on his own words. If it was a peaceful parting, it wouldn't be a strong career move to imply things like that about them on the way out in that manner.

So its not an article based on complete nothing without any proof whatsoever. An event did take place, and left enough evidence to make assumptions from it, which was my disagreement with the guy I replied to.
